My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with a small kitchenette and a relaxing area, but there were issues with streaky glasses and outdated bathroom amenities. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist, offering useful recommendations and even help with printing documents. The location was excellent, with tram stops just outside, making it easy to explore the city. However, the dining options were a bit limited, though the cafe menu had a good variety of choices.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The rooms were amazing, especially with the balcony view. They were spacious and even had a Nespresso machine. Everything in the room was correct with the usual sort of furnishings you expect from short term rentals. I also appreciated the 2 seater lounge, small table with 2 chairs, wardrobe, and TV that could be watched from bed.

The location was excellent, so close to the Victoria markets and transport. I would definitely recommend this hotel and revisit on my next trip to Melbourne. Being near the metro and the CBD but away from noise and crowds was perfect. The views of the city were amazing, and the proximity to Flagstaff Park and Vic Market made it very convenient, especially for late check-ins and early flights.
